Match the disorders in List I with their causes in List II and choose the correct option.
List IList II
(A) Thalassemia.(I) non-disjunction of sex chromosomes.
(B) Sickle-cell anaemia.(II) non-disjuction of 21st pair of chromosomes.
(C) Turner's Syndrome.(III) Synthesising few globin molecules.
(D) Down's Syndrome.(IV) synthesising an incorrectly functional globin.

Options

  1. A(A) - (I), (B) - (II), (C) - (III), (D) - (IV).
  2. B(A) - (II), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (III).
  3. C(A) - (I), (B) - (II), (C) - (IV), (D) - (III).
  4. D(A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II).

Correct answer

D. (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II).

Step-by-step solution

Thalassemia is a quantitative blood disorder that results in the synthesis of too few globin molecules. Thus, (A) matches (III).

Sickle-cell anaemia is a qualitative blood disorder that results in the synthesis of an incorrectly functioning globin molecule. Thus, (B) matches (IV).

Turner's Syndrome is caused by the absence of one of the X chromosomes (45withwithX0),whichoccursduetothenon−disjunctionofsexchromosomesduringgametogenesis.Thus,(C)matches(I).<br><br>Down′sSyndromeiscausedbythepresenceofanadditionalcopyofchromosomenumber21), which occurs due to the non-disjunction of sex chromosomes during gametogenesis. Thus, (C) matches (I).<br><br>Down's Syndrome is caused by the presence of an additional copy of chromosome number 21 (trisomy of 2121), which occurs due to the non-disjunction of the 2121st pair of chromosomes. Thus, (D) matches (II).

The correct matching is (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II).

Answer: (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II).
